Here is a lesson for all of us.
Once upon a time there was a farmer who had an old mule(donkey like animal). One day, the mule fell into a deep dry well and began to cry loudly. Hearing his mule cry, the farmer came over and assessed the situation. The well was deep and the mule was heavy.
He knew it would be difficult, if not impossible, to lift the animal out. Because the mule was old and the well was dry, the farmer decided to bury the animal in the well. In this way he could solve two problems: put the old mule out of his misery and have his well filled.
He called upon his neighbors to help him and they agreed to help. To work they went. Shovel full of dirt after shovel full of dirt began to fall on the mule's back. He became hysterical. Then all of a sudden an idea came to the mule.
Each time they would throw a shovel full of dirt on his back he could shake it off and step up. Shovel full after shovel full, the mule would shake it off and step up. Now exhausted and dirty, but quite alive, the mule stepped over the top of the well and walked through the crowd. A great attitude.
Too often we hold on to what has happened to us. We keep allowing these emotions to be thrown on our backs and if we do nothing, we will be buried deep in the well.
The cure is to accept what has happened, learn from it, then shake it off and step up. When you let it go you feel free and you are no longer buried in the well. Learn from it. Emerge stronger!
